Explore the ways in which mourning and death rituals have evolved through the Colonial, Victorian and Modern eras. We will be exhibiting a range of artifacts from local gravestone rubbings, hair jewelry and mourning attire to items from the McCoy Funeral Home private collection.
This year, we have some special guests appearing on the opening night! The incredible Invincible Czars will visit the museum on their way to The Lyric for their presentation of Faust at 7:30, and anyone at the reception will receive a voucher for free popcorn.
